Hmmmm - those pesky Gremlins are about again but I got your PM just now. Congratulations to the placers and thank you for your votes. Very lovely entries from all. Thank you @lynxster4 for hosting

@MJW I too am not real savvy about this kind of problem either. At the least, they may be able to rectify the problem, as their initial message seemed to reflect that they were working on it and that the .cc was a patch for now. Hopefully this is so . Perhaps they didn't pay their bill this year Someone on the IsItDown site suggested this: Simone Preston · Duke University No, a "find & replace" will change every single instance/image of postimg.org to postimg.cc within a single html file (or whatever your source file is). You have to do it for all of your separate files, though.... but not your separate images. If you're posting to other people sites, then I guess you have to give them the updated image links.... and that would be a pain if it's a ton of separate sites.

Fortunately only one image was affected in the Galleria and was easily fixed. It would be a mammoth job to go back and edit the comp sections though. I wonder if it is worth it? They could be unlocked if folks really want to go back and add the .cc to their image address's.

So, I've been playing again with glassy things! No surprise there, I guess Thank goodness for Paint.net, which is helping me to keep my mind occupied. Don't know what I'd do without it

@MadJik I am getting really confused about what is going on here. When I log-in the old way to: postimages.org I get into the site okay. But, when I click on an album it shows up as postimg.cc/files. You mention Postimg.org ............ which I've never used before and is different to postimages.org. The question remains that something really weird has happened. Does anyone know if one pays to join Photo bucket (God forbid) do they allow people to link back to them now? EDIT: I've just noticed that whilst I'm logged-in on the forum, in Firefox, all my postimages.org images are viewable( but not clickable.) When not logged-in on Chrome, the links are broken

As of now, Saturday 14th April 2018 the Postimage.org site is up and running again and they are adding .cc to the images. Testing with this image: I guess we have no option but to change our images to include the .cc. I can't find a reason why this happened.

Ahhhh - I'm in love those kitties are so adorable. And the octopus too . And the pudding planet looks good enough to eat . Great images @lynxster4

You can still get in to PostImage.org by ignoring the message and go to top right and click on Images. It takes you to your images. I've just added one and will test it here. Someone has suggested on the IsItDown site, which says it's up and running, that Postimage.org has been hacked.

@Djisves Yes, can see previously uploaded images, but try to login to Imgur .................... you get a cute giraffe with a note that's it's over capacity.

Hopefully this is not going to be a problem, but today I can't link to either of these sites which seem to be down. Is anyone else having this trouble?

Hello @Bloodshot_pico and Welcome to the forum An easy way would be to get some brushes from the web, like from Brusheezy if you can't draw the marks with the brush tool yourself. How to install Brushes. 1. Draw your scratches by hand, or by using custom brushes. 2. Keep the white background unchecked - for keeping transparency. 3. Use the Magic wand on Global to 'select' the black marks and invert (Ctrl + I) 4. Use white for an inner shadow - the plugin for that is found here. 5. Deselect and apply Gaussian Blur. 6. Save this in .png form. Close PDN. 7. Reopen Paint.net and import any image. 8. Import the claw marks, which will appear on a new layer. 9. Play with the layer blend modes, or color balance, to get something you like. I hope this will work for you. Drawing the claw marks would be a lot simpler than learning to use Brushes, if you have not done so before

Very nice @RMSTITANIC - this one really glows

Wow! Loving the latest fractals and the Fur Blurs @Seerose All the images are showing up now

Hello @Greeneyes Here is a tutorial on how to use @midora's Plugin:

Thank you so much @BatonGirl - that is very kind

Thank you @Ego Eram Reputo

Such a pretty Plugin you have made here

Please check that you have all the latest Microsoft updates on your computer.

Thank you very much @lynxster4 @Seerose and @Maximilian for your Best Wishes and for the Rep point @lifeday Hi there @JRF1 and Welcome to the forum. Many thanks for your comments and I look forward to seeing some of your work soon.

No, I don't think extending it another week would bring in anymore entries Thanks @DrewDale

I'm sorry @Liam there is no magic app that can do what you are asking. If you do not know how to use Paint.net, then I don't think we can help you. But, if you can show us the image (upload it to Imgur or another hosting site and then post the link in this thread) then we can suggest how to change it in Paint.net.

Hello @Liam and Welcome Can you paste the image here for us to see if it can be restored some way. If the image is large, you can save it to a place like Imgur or Postimage.org and then add the link to this thread.

If you hit on Choose - can't you find Paint.net on your computer? Perhaps via: OS(C) - Program Files - Paint.net

Sorry - I opened it and I get the exact same error message you do. No data there. I was really hoping, but it's not to be . When I first started out learning PDN @barbieq25 drummed it into me, to save often and make it a regular thing. Now, once I'm making something I save it to PDN in different stages, so if I mess up I can find the one before. I know this is not much consolation

@PATOOFA I'm so sorry you lost the file. Been there done that ! If you could save the PDN File to Drop Box and post the link here, I can take a look at what is inside, if anything, to put your mind to rest
